During a class in school, Ruan Qi saw Tang Beibeiâs face as she slumped over her desk.
She asked worriedly, âBeibei, have you not recovered from your cold?â
Tang Beibei shook her head. âThe cold is more or less gone after I took some medicine. However, my back feels a little sore.â
âYour back feels sore? Yesterday, did youâ¦â Ruan Qi thought that she was sore from dance practice but when she saw the hickeys on her neck, her eyes widened and she asked in shock. âOh my god, you and your husband did that thing!â
âPlease lower your voice!â
Tang Beibei quickly covered Ruan Qiâs mouth. Her face turned pink when she realized that the students around her were staring at her.
Ruan Qi also realized that she was a little loud, so she blinked repeatedly to tell Tang Beibei that she would speak softly.
âHow was your experience last night?â
âI donât know how to explain.â
âWhy not? Was your husbandâs technique good? Was it painful for you? Also, were there other reactions when you were doing it?â Ruan Qi stared at her with a gossipy gaze.
âAt least you should be able to tell if it was good or bad, right?â
Tang Beibeiâs face was pretty with her cheeks still pink. âIt was a little uncomfortable at first, but it felt pretty good later. Gosh, Iâm not telling you more. Itâs so embarrassing!â
Ruan Qi saw Tang Beibei cover her face with her hands. She looked so cute and adorable that even women would like her, let alone men.
But Tang Beibei was still quite naive that sheâd answer any question honestly.
Ruan Qi wanted to laugh. âSince it felt good, do it more. You can teach me things after youâve learned them.â
Tang Beibei removed her hands from the face and looked at Ruan Qi curiously.
âAre you going to confess to Song Zhou?â
âNo, no, 1â11 wait for him to confess to me, but 1 will continue to flirt with him.â Tang Beibei also thought that girls should be more reserved when it came to relationships, but she was the one who initiated sex last night.
Wasnât she too unreserved in front of Jiang Jingchen?
She covered her burning face as she recalled what the man whispered in her ear last night. âBeibei, 1 will remember how you look right now for the rest of my life. From this moment on, you are completely mine.â
She grabbed her ears to chase away the nonsensical thoughts in her mind.
She wanted to pay attention in class but she couldnât control herself. When she thought about Jiang Jingchen, she couldnât help but smile.
Ruan Qi wanted to practice dance after class, but Tang Beibei was still feeling a little sore and didnât join her. She went to the library to study instead.
After finding a seat, she sat down and studied seriously. When she was taking notes, a hand suddenly appeared on her notebook, pointing at a question.
âThis question of yours, wait until you are in your third year and your teacher explains it to you. You may not understand the answer even if 1 tell you now.â Tang Beibei turned her head and was very surprised to see Lu Fan.
âHello, Senior Lu Fan⦠Why are you back in the country?â
âSomething happened at home, so Iâm back for two days.â
Tang Beibei smiled when she heard the man who still spoke gently like a neighbor.
âWhat a coincidence to see you here. Senior Lu Fan, howâs studying abroad?â âStudying abroad isnât as stressful as in China. Beibei, how have you been?â It was not a coincidence that Lu Fan was here. He knew that she would come to the library when she had no classes and would pick a seat with good light near the window.
âIâm doing very well. 1 even joined a dance troupe. Iâve been quite busy lately.â Lu Fan was surprised that she knew how to dance. âIs it the schoolâs dance team?â
âNo, itâs my classmate, Fu Jinâs. He started a professional dance troupe.â
âFu Jin?â
Lu Fan was surprised. If he remembered correctly, Fu Jin was the boy who had once tried to pursue Tang Beibei but was rejected by her.
âIs he your class monitor?â
âYes, heâs quite good at dancing.â
âThen do you know that heâ¦â Lu Fan wanted to ask her if she knew that Fu Jin liked her.
However, he saw some red marks on the side of her neck, marks obviously left by a man.
He looked at her with a somewhat sorrowful gaze.
Tang Beibei was puzzled. âWhat about him?â
âOh, itâs nothing. Beibei, how are you getting along with your husband?â
âVery well. Hehe.â Tang Beibei nodded with a smile.
Lu Fan chuckled self-deprecatingly and lowered his head without saying another word.
They were husband and wife. Their relationship was none of his businessâ¦
But he was the one who still couldnât let go, and continued to carry a torch for Tang Beibei.
âSenior Lu Fan, are you feeling alright?â
âIâm fine.â
Lu Fanâs calmed his expression. He came here to find her because he was unwilling. He should be happy for her when he saw that she was doing well. The girl he liked was doing very well.
âDo you have other questions? Iâll see if 1 can help.â
âI have a few. Thank you, Senior Lu Fan.â Tang Beibei was grateful and showed him the questions.
When they left the library, Tang Beibei wanted to thank him by buying him a drink.
Lu Fan put one hand in his pocket and shook his head with a weak smile. âI still have things to do, so Iâd better go. Beibei, 1 wish you a happy life ahead.â
Tang Beibei smiled and nodded. âThanks. I wish Lu Fan a safe journey.â
Lu Fan could not help but chuckle when he heard her simple blessings. He turned and waved goodbye to her.
After a few more chuckles, the corners of his mouth curled up into a bitter smile, and desolation grew in his heart.
This encounter with Tang Beibei could be considered a farewell to his first love. He would stop having irrational thoughts about her from now on.
Tang Beibei watched the man walk away and was about to contact Song Zhou when she heard someone call her name.
She turned her head in confusion and saw Song Kai in his jersey. He was holding the ball and waving at her with a smile.
âBeibei, was that Lu Fan who just left?â
âYes, Senior Lu Fan is back. We ran into each other in the library.â
Song Kai thought that it was because Lu Linlin had a fight with her father because their engagement was off. When rumor that Lu Linlin was a jinx spread, Old Master Lu was so angry that he was admitted to the hospital.
Lu Fan was the only grandson of the Lu family. He had to come back.
He knew that Lu Fan had run into her at the library on purpose, but he wouldnât say it. He was about to speak when he saw the hickeys on Tang Beibeiâs neck. His mind went blank, and he forgot what he wanted to say. âSenior Song Kai, is there something on my face?â
Tang Beibei touched her face in confusion when she saw him staring at her.
Song Kai snapped back to reality. âNo, Beibei. 1 heard that your husbandâs legs have recovered?â
âEh, how did you know?â
Song Kai suppressed his emotions and asked, âLast time when your husband came to school and gave you flowers. Beibei, when did your husbandâs legs recover?â
âItâs been some time, but he didnât tell me because he wanted to surprise me.â âOh, really?â
Song Kai looked at the marks on her neck again. He felt a piercing pain in his eyes and looked away.
Those marks were like a slap on his face, and it felt painful as hell.
Jiang Jingchenâs legs had recovered.
He was no longer a cripple.
The first young master of the Jiang family was no longer disabled and had recovered from his illness. If Jiang Jingchen wanted to fight for the Jiang family assets, he would be a great threat to Jiang Minglang.
âIt seems that youâve been getting along quite well with your husband.â
âOf course. Like a house on fire.â A deep male voice answered for Tang Beibei before she could say anything..
